About envelopes 2

Use envelopes that weigh from 20 to 25 lb

(80 to 95 g/m2).

Some envelopes need margin settings to be set in the application. Make sure you do a test print first before printing many envelopes.

IMPORTANTDO NOT use any of the following types of envelopes, as they will cause paper feed problems:

• That are of a baggy construction.

• That are embossed (have raised writing on them).

• That have clasps or staples.

• That are pre-printed on the inside.

Occasionally you may experience paper feed problems caused by the thickness, size and flap shape of the envelopes you are using.

Acceptable paper and other print media 2

The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the machine.

To get the best print quality for the settings you have chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.

You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes.

We recommend testing various paper types before buying large quantities.

For best results, use Brother paper.

When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to choose the proper print media in the “Basic” tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the machine’s menu. (See Paper Type on page 23.)

When you print on Brother photo paper, load one extra sheet of the same photo paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has been included in the paper package for this purpose.

When you use transparencies or photo paper, remove each sheet at once to prevent smudging or paper jams.

Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing; the surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers.

Recommended print media 2

To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See the table below.)

We recommend using “3M Transparency Film” when you print on transparencies.

Handling and using print media 2

Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side of photo paper. Load photo paper with the shiny side facing down.

Avoid touching either side of transparencies because they absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.

AReplacing the ink cartridges A

Your machine is equipped with an ink dot counter. The ink dot counter automatically monitors the level of ink in each of the 4 cartridges. When the machine detects an ink cartridge is running out of ink, the machine will tell you with a message on the LCD.

The LCD will tell you which ink cartridge is low or needs replacing. Be sure to follow the LCD prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the correct order.

Even though the machine tells you to replace an ink cartridge, there will be a small amount of ink left in the ink cartridge. It is necessary to keep some ink in the ink cartridge to prevent air from drying out and damaging the print head assembly.

IMPORTANTBrother strongly recommends that you do not refill the ink cartridges provided with your machine. We also strongly recommend that you continue to use only Genuine Brother Brand replacement ink cartridges. Use or attempted use of potentially incompatible ink and/or cartridges in the Brother machine may cause damage to the machine and/or may result in unsatisfactory print quality. Our warranty coverage does not apply to any problem that is caused by the use of unauthorized third party ink and/or cartridges. To protect your investment and obtain premium performance from the Brother machine, we strongly recommend the use of Genuine Brother Supplies.

a Open the ink cartridge cover.If one or more ink cartridges have reached the end of their life, the LCD shows B&W Print Only or Cannot Print.

b Press the lock release lever as shown to release the cartridge for the color indicated on the LCD. Remove the cartridge from the machine.

c Open the new ink cartridge bag for the color shown on the LCD, and then take out the ink cartridge.

d Turn the green knob on the protective yellow cap clockwise until it clicks to release the vacuum seal, then remove the cap (1).

e Each color has its own correct position. Insert the ink cartridge in the direction of the arrow on the label.

f Gently push in the ink cartridge until it clicks, and then close the ink cartridge cover.

g The machine will automatically reset the ink dot counter.

Note• If you replaced an ink cartridge, for

example Black, the LCD may ask you to verify that it was a brand new one (for example, Did You Change Black). For each new cartridge you installed, press + (Yes) to automatically reset the ink dot counter for that color. If the ink cartridge you installed is not a brand new one, be sure to press - (No).

• If the LCD shows No Ink Cartridge or Cannot Detect after you install the ink cartridges, check that the ink cartridges are installed properly.

CAUTION

If ink gets in your eyes, wash it out with water at once and call a doctor if you are concerned.

1

34

IMPORTANT• DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do

not need to replace them. If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the machine will not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.

• DO NOT touch the cartridge insertion slots. If you do so, the ink may stain your skin.

• If ink gets on your skin or clothing immediately wash it off with soap or detergent.

• If you mix the colors by installing an ink cartridge in the wrong position, clean the print head several times after correcting the cartridge installation.

• Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the machine and use it up within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date written on the cartridge package.

• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out of the cartridge.

Troubleshooting

B

Ink Absorber Full The ink absorber box or flushing box is full. These components are periodic maintenance items that may require replacement after a period of time to ensure optimum performance from your Brother machine. The need to replace these items and the time period before replacement is dependent on the number of purges and flushes required to clean the ink system. These boxes acquire amounts of ink during the different purging and flushing operations. The number of times a machine purges and flushes for cleaning varies depending on different situations. For example, frequently powering the machine on and off will cause numerous cleaning cycles since the machine automatically cleans upon power up. The use of non-Brother ink may cause frequent cleanings because non-Brother ink could cause poor print quality which is resolved by cleaning. The more cleaning the machine requires the faster these boxes will fill up.

NoteRepairs resulting from the use of non-Brother supplies may not be covered under the stated product warranty.

The ink absorber box or flushing box will need to be replaced. Contact Brother Customer Service or a Brother Authorized Service Center to have your machine serviced. (See Brother numbers on page i.)

Other reasons for cleaning are:

1 Machine automatically cleans after clearing a printer jam.

2 Machine automatically cleans after sitting idle for more than 45 days (infrequent use).

Ink Absorber NearFull The ink absorber box or flushing box is nearly full.

The ink absorber box or flushing box will need to be replaced. Call Brother Customer Service or a Brother Authorized Service Center to have your machine serviced. (See Brother numbers on page i.)

Ink low One or more of the ink cartridges are near the end of their life.

Order a new ink cartridge. You can continue printing until the LCD shows Cannot Print. (See Ordering accessories and supplies on page ii and Replacing the ink cartridges on page 32.)

Low Temperature The print head is too cold. Allow the machine to warm up.


38

Media Error The memory card is either corrupted, improperly formatted, or there is a problem with the memory card.

Put the card firmly into the slot again to make sure it is in the correct position. If the error remains, check the media drive (slot) of the machine by putting in another memory card that you know is working.

Media is Full. The memory card you are using already contains 999 files.

Your machine can only save to your memory card if it contains less than 999 files. Try deleting unused files to free some space and try again.

No File The memory card in the media drive does not contain a .JPG file.

Put the correct memory card into the slot again.

No Ink Cartridge An ink cartridge is not installed properly.

Take out the ink cartridge and re-install it slowly until it clicks. (See Replacing the ink cartridges on page 32.)

No Paper Fed The machine is out of paper or paper is not properly loaded in the paper tray.

If you are having difficulty with your machine B

Printing

Difficulty Suggestions

No printout Check the interface cable on both the machine and your computer. (See the Quick Setup Guide.)

Check that the machine is plugged in and that the On/Off key is on.

Check to see if the LCD is showing an error message. (See Error and Maintenance messages on page 35.)

One or more ink cartridges have reached the end of their life. (See Replacing the ink cartridges on page 32.)

If the LCD shows Cannot Print and Replace Ink, see Replacing the ink cartridges on page 32.

Check that the correct printer driver has been installed and chosen.

Make sure that the machine is online. Click Start and then Printers and Faxes. Choose Brother DCP-XXXX (where XXXX is your model name), and make sure that Use Printer Offline is unchecked.

When you choose the Print Odd Pages and Print Even Pages settings, you may see a print error message on your computer, as the machine pauses during the printing process. The error message will disappear after the machine re-starts printing.


Troubleshooting

43

B

Poor print quality Check the print quality. (See Checking the print quality in appendix A of the Advanced User’s Guide.)

Make sure that the Media Type setting in the printer driver or the Paper Type setting in the machine’s menu matches the type of paper you are using.

(See Printing for Windows® or Printing and Faxing for Macintosh in the Software User’s Guide and Paper Type on page 15.)

Make sure that your ink cartridges are fresh. The following may cause ink to clog:

The expiration date written on the cartridge package has passed. (Genuine Brother Innobella™ Ink cartridges stay usable for up to two years if kept in their original packaging.)

The ink cartridge has been in your machine over for six months.

The ink cartridge may not have been stored properly before use.

Make sure you are using Genuine Brother Innobella™ Ink. Using non-Brother supplies may affect the print quality, hardware performance, and machine reliability.

Try using the recommended types of paper. (See Acceptable paper and other print media on page 16.)

The recommended environment for your machine is between 68 F to 91 F (20 C to 33 C).

White horizontal lines appear in text or graphics.

Clean the print head. (See Cleaning the print head in appendix A of the Advanced User’s Guide.)

Make sure you are using Genuine Brother Innobella™ Ink.

Try using the proper types of paper. (See Acceptable paper and other print media on page 16.)

The machine prints blank pages. Clean the print head. (See Cleaning the print head in appendix A of the Advanced User’s Guide.)


Characters and lines are stacked. Check the printing alignment. (See Checking the print alignment in appendix A of the Advanced User’s Guide.)

Printed text or images are skewed. Make sure the paper is loaded properly in the paper tray and the paper side guides are adjusted correctly. (See Loading paper and other print media on page 9.)

Make sure the Jam Clear Cover is closed properly.

Smudged stain at the top center of the printed page.

Make sure the paper is not too thick or curled. (See Acceptable paper and other print media on page 16.)

Smudged stain at the right or left corner of the printed page.

Make sure the paper is not curled when you print on the back side of the paper with the Print Odd Pages and Print Even Pages settings.

Printing appears dirty or ink seems to run.

Make sure you are using the recommended types of paper. (See Acceptable paper and other print media on page 16.) Don't handle the paper until the ink is dry.


If you are using photo paper, make sure that you have set the correct paper type. If you are printing a photo from your PC, set the Media Type in the Basic tab of the printer driver.

Printing (continued)


44

Stains appear on the reverse side or at the bottom of the page.

Make sure the printer platen is not dirty with ink. (See Cleaning the machine’s printer platen of appendix A of the Advanced User’s Guide.)


Make sure you are using the paper support flap. (See Loading paper and other print media on page 9.)

The machine prints dense lines on the page.

Check Reverse Order in the Basic tab of the printer driver.

The printouts are wrinkled. In the printer driver Advanced tab, click Color Settings, and uncheck Bi-Directional Printing.


Cannot perform “Page Layout” printing.

Check that the paper size setting in the application and in the printer driver are the same.

Print speed is too slow. Try changing the printer driver setting. The highest resolution needs longer data processing, sending and printing time. Try the other quality settings in the printer driver Advanced tab. Also, click the Color Settings tab, and make sure you

uncheck Color Enhancement (True2Life®).

Turn the borderless feature off. Borderless printing is slower than normal printing.

(See Printing for Windows® or Printing and Faxing for Macintosh in the Software User's Guide.)

True2Life® is not working properly. If the image data is not full color in your application (such as 256 color), True2Life®

will not work. Use at least 24 bit color data with the True2Life® feature.

Photo paper does not feed properly.

When you print on Brother Photo paper, load one extra sheet of the same photo paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has been included in the paper package for this purpose.

Clean the paper pick-up rollers. (See Cleaning the paper pick-up rollers in appendix A of the Advanced User’s Guide.)

Machine feeds multiple pages. Make sure the paper is loaded properly in the paper tray. (See Loading paper and other print media on page 9.)

Check that more than two types of paper are not loaded in the paper tray at any one time.

There is a paper jam. Make sure the paper length guide is set to the correct paper size. Do not extend the paper tray when you load A5 or smaller size paper. (See Printer jam or paper jam on page 40.)

Printed pages are not stacked neatly.

Make sure you are using the paper support flap. (See Loading paper and other print media on page 9.)

Machine does not print from

Adobe® Illustrator®.Try to reduce the print resolution. (See Printing for Windows® or Printing and Faxing for Macintosh in the Software User's Guide.)

Copying Difficulties


Vertical black lines or streaks appear in copies.

Vertical black lines or streaks on copies are typically caused by dirt or correction fluid on the scanner. Clean scanner glass and white plastic above it. (See Cleaning the scanner glass in appendix A of the Advanced User’s Guide.)

Copies are blank. Make sure you are loading the document properly. (See How to load documents on page 20.)

Fit to Page does not work properly. Make sure the document is not skewed on the scanner glass. Reposition the document and try again.

Scanning Difficulties


TWAIN or WIA errors appear when

starting to scan. (Windows®)

Make sure the Brother TWAIN or WIA driver is chosen as the primary source in your scanning application. For example, in PaperPort™11SE with OCR, click File, Scan or Get Photo and click Select to choose the Brother TWAIN or WIA driver.

TWAIN or ICA errors appear when starting to scan. (Macintosh)

Make sure the Brother TWAIN driver is chosen as the primary source. In PageManager, click File, Select Source, TWAIN and choose the Brother TWAIN driver. Mac OS X 10.6.x users can also scan documents using the ICA Scanner Driver. See Scanning a document using the ICA driver (Mac OS X 10.6.x) in the Software User’s Guide.

OCR does not work. Try increasing the scanner resolution.

(Macintosh users) Make sure you have finished downloading and installing Presto! PageManager from: http://nj.newsoft.com.tw/download/brother/PM7installer_BR_multilang.dmg
